Thank you for your support, Martin! I am experiencing some issues with the device's programming at the moment, using the ATMEL-ICE programmer, and I need to do further troubleshooting before working on the code. Also, note that I am using TPIC6B595 in my project, regarding which I commented in the link that you have posted above.

Hi Martin,


You have helped me to solve my problem, thank you! I was able to build the proto board with the TPIC6B595 and the display I wanted, but my need is a bit different than only counting or displaying numbers.

I also want to display custom characters and the alphabet's letters in 7 segments, so I will need a flow code similar to the 7Segment (74HC595) component, which has:

ShowDigit -
ShowDigits -
ShowSegments -

The most wanted feature is ShowDigit, as I will use it as a reference to create a lookup table for characters and letters, since I currently have only one for numbers from 0 to 9.

Would it be possible to customize the enclosed example to work with what I need? (I do not know how to do it myself)

Hi Martin,

I figured out how your component works, and I can confirm to the community that it's designed for the TPIC6B595.
